I finally got around to setting up the gun safe that I got from Costco. It was delivered to the loading dock at work last week, and I got it home yesterday and horsed it into position.

 

It's surprisingly roomy. I thought it would be too small, but it holds everything I planned to stash, with room for expansion.

 

I have all my expensive lenses in it with 2 camera bodies, as well as a handful of hard drives, a couple of laptops, a lock box with some important papers, an assortment of handgun ammo and Jordan's 4 cans of Mosin ammo.

 

Oh, and if I still owned 7 long guns and 6 handguns, they would fit in with room for more.

 

A great deal for the price.

Sounds like it would be good for kidnapped children or your neighbor's dog if your tired of hearing his barking.

:text-worthless:

This one.

We need real pictures, none of this stock crap LOL

Looks just like that, but in my house.

Nice. Yours isn't as crooked as mine.

Very Perrrty!

 

I just picked this one up at Dicks on sale for $399

 

 

 

I like that one. I have a smaller 16 gun (not in a million years) Stack-On that I got from Dicks back in '05 that I am happy with overall, though the keypad is prone to issues. Wish I had gone with the combination, but other than that and the inflated capacity, it was a good buy.

Thats a nice looking safe. Wish I didnt miss the deal!

Looks like it's gonna be on sale again after Sept. 13. Keep watching.

Does your look indentical to the picture? I ordered the same one from Costco and they "upgraded" mine to a 5 spoke handle.. just curious if they are still selling the one pictured

Good question. I don't remember. I'll check when I get home.

$200 discount is reflected in the price.

 

Valid for orders placed

 

August 13, 2010 through September 12, 2010.

 

While supplies last.

 

That's funny.

 

In the time since I last looked at the Costco page, they removed the NOT from in front of the Valid.

 

Go for it. It's on again.

5 spoke on mine, too. I wonder if there are any more differences.

that one?

 

seems to be on sale, no?

That's the one... same price as I paid, but mine has 5 spokes, and possibly a different configuration on the keypad. Interior is the same.

so how many long guns can you comfortably fit in there?

dunno. all my guns were lost in a tragic smelting accident. But, if I still had any, all 8 long guns would fit, including the 2 that are (were) obnoxiously long (Godzilla, and Jordan's eurotrash (with bipod)) with room for at least 4 more, possibly 5 if they were narrow.

would that be on one side?

 

My scoped rifles have their own individual cases, but need space to fit handguns, and about....... I figure 20 long guns with no scopes on them.

you'll probably need something larger.

 

or 2 of these.

 

Check Tractor Supply. They have the next 2 sizes up in the same product line. Decent prices, but I don't remember specifics.

Looks like Costco is still shipping the upgraded model from the one pictured.. I had zero isues with mine so far. Maks, i can fit maybe 8 Long comfortably, and thats only using 1/2 the safe, the other half is ammo and stuff.. here's a few pics..

 

Still have glue from the sticker on the door, i'm lazy like that...

 

AHHHHHHH! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: KEEP YOUR POWDER AWAY FROM PRIMERS!

AHHHHHHH! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: KEEP YOUR POWDER AWAY FROM PRIMERS!

 

Why? what am I doing wrong?

 

How far away?

yep. That's the one they shipped to me, too. The sticker is still on mine.

oh damn, i didn't even realize to be honest. I just put it in there the other day cause my son was down in the room with me and i locked everything up.. it's moved now

If the primers go off, in a fire... they pop... if there is a lb of powder next to it.... explosive situation.

thanks for the pics don. So it looks like you can do rifles everywhere and there is space for handguns above the rifles?

 

sweet.

it's set up for rifles on left, right or both, with a shelf across the full width and 2 half shelves

Yes, the shelves are all adjustable, you can configure it a few ways, shelves and divider are pretty much particle board with some cheap carpet, but seem study enough, also has electric outlet inside to plug in a rod or light and comes with an external cord... the negative on this is the door doesn't open all the way, only 90 degrees, doesn't bother me but may bother some.. i just put the stuff i don't need most on that side, problem solved.. i have a shelf up high that has enough room for at least 3 or 4 standard pistol case's

Do any of those safes have a bungee cord on the inside of the door? Mine is a Sentry and it has one. It is woven like a shoe lace. Sentry extols this as a great feature. Only thing is, I can't figure out what it is good for. OK, maybe my half of the treasure map. What do you store in there?
